Talk:L'Arche

Improving this Article
On June 9/10, 2010, I introduced a number of significant changes to this article, paring down most of the original version and moving it to a new section entitled "History of L'Arche", then adding sections on the model, mission and character of L'Arche as a faith-based organization. As a Regional Coordinator currently with L'Arche in Canada, I am interested in engaging others around the world in helping me to improve the article even more in days to come.Njodonnell (talk) 12:41, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Confusion between L'Arche and the Arc
Both organizations, L'Arche and The Arc are large, national organizations which serve people with developmental disabilities. There is often some confusion that the two are related because of the similarity in names: L'Arche and The Arc. They are, however, not related. The Arc gets its name from the old acronym Association for Retarded Citizens or Association for Retarded Children.

Is it worth noting for a sentence or two that it is a separate agency from The Arc? --Pylon 16:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Copyright
I have removed most of the article, as it appears to have been a copyright violation from here: http://www.larche.org/charter-of-the-communities-of-l-arche.en-gb.43.3.content.htm. Let's rebuild the article using a variety sources and a neutral point of view. Kla'quot 07:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Fiddy2
The suggestion has been made by that this project is not of a financial magnitude to affect the International L'Arche organization. Deletion of the section has been proposed, and I welcome further views. Xcstar (talk) 19:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The suggestion that this is an important issue was raised by you, yourself. Your knowingly false and malicious edit on December 31 claimed the existence of a "controversy" with an edit summary noting that you "added reference to Fiddy2, an unfortunate episode in the L'Arche fundraising history". It seems extremely hypocritical to claim that the section be removed when it was you who inserted it here in the first place. Alansohn (talk) 19:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have tried to keep the name of the promoter out of this article, and you keep adding him back in. Contrary to your claim, I did not make the suggestion at  but having read it, believed that it would be more appropriately discussed here. The edit on December 31 merely reversed a prior deletion. A little civility on your part would go a long way.  Certainly, the promoter's abuse of Wikipedia, has not help L'Arche's cause, and is in the words of that other editor, "annoying."  I hope that you are not yet another in a long line of the promoter's sockpupets. Xcstar (talk) 22:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's hard to take your efforts seriously when you were the one who linked to Dane Rauschenberg in the first place with [this edit. Your edits have repeatedly deleted factual information from reliable sources, substituting it with false, misleading and defamatory information that violates WP:BLP. Removing his name doesn't resolve the problem you've created, as there are links that clearly reference Rauschenberg still included. You have still failed to show that there is any "controversy" or supposed issue with "tactics". The man has raised over $40,000 for L'Arche-Mobile and all you've done is maliciously imply that he committed fraud, was improperly supervised, paid for trips that shouldn't have been taken and "only" raised $43,000. If you cannot provide a reliable independent source that criticizes his efforts, your shameless and improperly sourced material will be removed as a [[WP:BLP]] violation.

The founder's personal relationships
Hi orangemike, the information in the introduction is repeated later in the document. Plus, why is his personal relationships mentioned at the start of the organisation page? This should go on information "about the founder's personal life" or such. Referring to edit: oldid=1029257390 Jddcef (talk) 08:37, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
